Busy bored but good

Well I realised it’d been a bit since I blogged and thought I should post something, but really there isn’t anything too interesting going on in our lives right now. It’s a lot of repetative motion. Get up, get ready, take Jas to school, clean house, pick Jas up, cook dinner, give girls baths, put them to bed, get myself to bed after resting for a little bit and then rinse and repeat. Very interesting let me tell you! Somedays I feel like I’m running around in circles. But let’s see what new things are happening?
I have instituted a new reward system for the girls. They earn time to play their computers or the Wii by doing chores. They lose time when they disobey. It’s working pretty well actually. Jasmine is saving her time up till she has 2 hours, she’s at an hour and a half right now. Nyah is more of an earn and use as quickly as possible girl, but at least she’s helping out around the house a lot more lately. Their rooms are staying slightly cleaner, they’re both learning valuable skills and they’re saving me a little bit of sanity!
Jasmine continues to do well. She does have some pain when she plays too hard, but a little motrin helps and she’s back to normal. Next week we have her check up with her back doctor to see how things are going, I have my fingers crossed!
Nyah is . . . well Nyah. She’s doing fine in school although she seems to have a problem with authority. She gets bored and will go off and do what ever she wants to do and gets rather upset when a teacher tells her she needs to do something else. I’m not really sure how to handle this one, but we’re trying to get her to understand she needs to follow the rules and directions even when she doesn’t want to.
As for me I’m doing fine. Really busy for not a lot going on. I’m trying to go through each room and clean and organize it before moving onto the next. So far I’ve done th kitchen, front room, and master bedroom. Next is the garage, laundry room and my office. That’s my exciting life for now. I’ll update next week after we go to Jas’s dr apt.
